FIRST TRAILER FOR THE WALK

</div><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p style="text-align: justify;">Sony Pictures have just released a first global trailer for Robert Zemeckis’ <em>The Walk</em>, for which our team recently completed VFX work.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Set in the city of New York in the 70’s, the 3D movie tells the story of French tightrope artist Philippe Petit, who strung a 200-foot-long wire between the World Trade Center towers and performed a high-wire walk hundreds of feet above ground.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Rodeo FX contributed to the astonishing re-creation of Lower Manhattan in the ’70s, crafting extensive CG environments and digital matte paintings. A team of more than 80 artists and managers spent about seven months working on this exciting and challenging project.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Directed by Robert Zemeckis <em>(Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future)</em> and adapted from Petit’s memoir <em>To Reach the Clouds</em>, the film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt <em>(Inception, Looper)</em> as Philippe Petit. Sony’s <em>The Walk</em> is receiving an early release at Imax 3D theaters on September 30 — more than a week before the wide release on October 9. The movie has also been selected to open the 53rd New York Film Festival on September 25.</p> </div><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p/> </div>
